A truly romantic place, especially for couples. Several restaurants, all with nice sea views. The pool was large enough to swim. In particular, the pool has a magnificent sea view. Serving from arrival to departure is everywhere caring and at a high level. Complimentary kayaks, snorkelling equipment, surfboards and so on were available.

Service throughout our stay was impeccable. Staff was always there to meet every need. Property and cabanas were beautiful and very well maintained. We were given a free upgrade to a pool cabana when we arrived - a very pleasant surprise.

Staff were absolutely outstanding. We had to unfortunately leave 24hours early, and they went out of their way to arrange that we could have their boat to Krabi, and help us. The accommodation was beautiful - bright, airy, clean and spacious, tucked away in the forest and serenely quiet. The dinner in the Cave 'Grotto' was serene and the BBQ's mix of steaks and seafood / lobster was wonderfully cooked and presented.

Absolutely EVERYTHING! I would say that this hotel is worth every single penny they are charging! I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to have a wonderful time! Lets start with the room. We booked a jetpool pavilion. It was amazing, spacious and coqutte. Very clean as well. We got two house keeping services, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The staff. Everyone was AMAZINGLY nice and going out of their way to make us enjoy the place as much as possible, never had this kind of service anywhere before ( and we love to travel ). Every encounter with the transfer ( airport or excursions ) was absolutely precise and fast. The reaturants(especially the Grotto), the breakfast... AMAZING. And there comes the jungle surrounding the whole resort... Without a doubt the most beautiful place we have been in.
Don’t hesitate to book here, it is as good as it gets!

Amazingly located. Bush is magic. Pool is very big and comfy, the best restaurant is the one next to it. Very nice duties and services in the room. Staff is very kind and helpful. Beaches are very full of people, although the resort is very quiet and you won’t be disturbed. Rooms are two floors made, big and very intimate. Have a look for monkeys on trees. We will come back.

100% Verified Reviews

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

눉The food is not agree with a 5 stars hotel. To be honest, the breakfast is good and the swimming pool menu is ok, but the Thai restaurant and the International were terrible. We ate a Noodle pasta with lobster which was a shame to say it was made by a chef really from Thailand.

눉The beaches surrounding the resort were extremely overcrowded to the point that we just avoided them. Lots of day trippers so they got a little better in the evening. If you’re looking for local flare and a Thai experience, don’t come here. At no time (other than seeing the beauty of the natural surroundings) did we feel that we were in Thailand. Nightlife just outside the resort was a western college party atmosphere. Meals at the resort were good at best and way overpriced. Service was exceptional though. We will not go back to this resort.

눉Rayavadee is a very well thought out hotel in one of the most beautiful places in Thailand. It was our honeymoon so we had a very pleasant stay, specially because the staff was incredibly LOVELY, HELPFUL and POLITE. But not everything was great, and sometimes it was not the hotel's fault so that's why we felt it was not our place to complain with management. Maybe it is because Railay beach has become too touristic...not sure. Anyway we don't regret staying there, it was AMAZING at its most and we would like to come back some day.
ARRIVAL: normally guests arrive with hotel's speedboat at the west side of Railay and the reception is right there. But we came from Koh Phi Phi by ferryboat so we landed in the east side of Railay. There was no one waiting for us at the beach as agreed previously with the hotel, after 20 minutes I left my husband with our luggage and walked almost up until the hotel's entrance when I met a staff that was coming to pick us up. He apologized saying they were too busy.
OTHER GUESTS: ok, so this point is a delicate subject, because is my personal opinion. We've witnessed a few situations (with other guests and even with ourselves) that made us a little uncomfortable, but didn't say anything to management because it's not their fault or under their control. I don't want to sound judgemental or anything like that, but the hotel had some guests from a specific place that were very rude and not polite to other guests and staff. There was also guests from another place that we witnessed stealing food from breakfast. It was a big family and this lady filled her plate 4 times with pastries and threw everything inside a large purse...it was unbelievable, I've never saw anything like that my entire life. But again...it was NOT the hotel's fault, I totally understand it. But I find it "funny" that even in such a luxurious and expensive place as the Rayavadee you can find people like that.

눇CHECK-IN: at the reception the hotel's general manager came to great us herself and even explained a few things before assigning a staff member to finish it. They are very warm, making you feel really welcome.
ROOM: we chose the most simple room, the Deluxe Pavillon with 70m2 but it was a much above average room in comparison to basic standard rooms in other 5 stars hotels. Really, the room was AMAZING, we loved it! It has a living room with large sofa, big TV and restroom. The room is equipped with dinnerware, small fridge, drinks, coffee, tea etc. Everyday they would place fresh fruits for us.
The bed sits in the second floor, where there's also a large armoire, dressing table and desk. The bathroom has a weird shape but it's because the room is round. Loved the bathtub, when we arrived they had just prepared a hot bath for us filled with dozens of fresh orchids. Really...DOZENS of white and pink orchids. Bed was gigantic, it seemed to be like 2 smaller beds together. Bathroom is full of high quality amenities. We asked for orthopedics pillows and they had them!
HOTEL AREA: this is where you really see the hotel was well planned. The rooms are all placed in a way that your windows are never directly facing another room's windows, giving you some privacy. There is so much green, trees, plants, fish ponds everywhere and it makes you feel like you're in the middle of a beautiful jungle. We saw many animals, such as monkey families, birds, lizards...there is plenty! Funny part is, I thought there would be tons of annoying insects such as huge cockroaches but there weren't. Of course, if you go outside without repellent you will get stung, but IT'S NOT at all like when you're in tropical areas in the middle of clouds of mosquitos.
POOLS: there is only 1 pool at the hotel, close to Railay east side and it is beautiful. It is large enough so the guests are not all over themselves and full of sunchairs.

눉Just one thing - and not a hotel /resort issue - be slightly forewarned that all the three beaches get pretty busy when the tourist boats start to come in around 10am until they leave around 4pm. However, the hotel has its own chilling out seated areas overlooking the most unbelievably stunning Phra Nang Beach - so not a real issue at all. But the beaches wont be deserted all day, just so people aware, as no completely private beaches i understand. It is absolutely worth it to be there on your own from sunrise for a few hours before the crowds flock in - or after they leave prior to sunset - and we felt privileged to be at this hotel to be able to experience those times. The pools are huge, and can find enough solitude there as well.

눇Staff were absolutely outstanding. We had to unfortunately leave 24hours early, and they went out of their way to arrange that we could have their boat to Krabi, and help us. The accommodation was beautiful - bright, airy, clean and spacious, tucked away in the forest and serenely quiet. The dinner in the Cave 'Grotto' was serene and the BBQ's mix of steaks and seafood / lobster was wonderfully cooked and presented.

눉The beach’s scenery was breathtaking but the beach its self wasn’t private, which is a bit frustrating but not a huge problem. Activities center needs an upgrade!!! Some more signs at the exits to the beach, that the resort is a private property and its exclusive to hotel guests only would be nice. There were lots of people who wants to check the restaurants and security guards are telling them they can’t, wasn’t really nice.

눇Absolutely EVERYTHING! I would say that this hotel is worth every single penny they are charging! I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to have a wonderful time! Lets start with the room. We booked a jetpool pavilion. It was amazing, spacious and coqutte. Very clean as well. We got two house keeping services, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The staff.
